Chapter 248: Sacrifice

readx;

"That's it, I've said it before, if you really want to do it, it's pretty simple, right? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Outside the Temple of the Capital of the Dead, Lina stood at the top of the high stone steps in front of the temple, facing the empty wide square, and said to Cira beside her: "As long as your faith is pious enough, and you master some special skills, it is easy to turn into a channel of communication, gather the power of faith through your own faith, and then directly offer it to the gods." Of course, there is also a danger in doing this, when you are a channel, if you are not careful enough, you receive a little more power but do not transmit the power of faith to the gods as soon as possible, and you will be blown up by a huge force, so at the beginning, I asked you to do as little as possible each time, just because I was worried that you would make a mistake, but you adapted quickly, and you can already lead a large-scale prayer activity normally. ”

The square was empty, but it was not empty, the tallest totem pole in the square had been obscured and removed from use, replaced by a bone altar that had been built in a short time near the temple. The circular altar is about one meter high and five meters in diameter, and on the four directions facing the altar, a human skull is placed in each of the four directions, which adds a bit of gloomy atmosphere to the entire altar. But other than that, the altar is quite normal, in the space above the altar, you can intuitively perceive that the huge invisible energy is slowly circling, and every second more energy will gather from all directions and join the huge energy group.

"This altar is really hard to get used to. Lina folded her arms over her chest, rubbed her hands together, and muttered, "I always feel like I'm doing something bad." ”

"Uh, is this kind of altar really normal?" The other girls who could only be bystanders stood not far behind Lina and Ciadra, Catherine looked at the gloomy altar below, couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, and said with a dry smile: "No matter how you look at it, this is a very evil thing, is it really appropriate to use this kind of thing for a ceremony?"

"Sister, don't make trouble. The priest girl gave her sister a blank look and explained: "Although it seems to be very evil, in fact, this is the standard altar of the god of death, just like the altar of our lord, the earth of the four sides of the altar must be prepared, and the altar of the god of death must also choose the symbol of death as the medium, and the skull of intelligent beings is precisely the item that can best represent death." Of course, this medium doesn't need a freshly cut skull, no matter how long the skull of a creature has been dead, as long as the skull remains intact, it will take effect, so it's not an altar of evil, it's just ...... Well, it's just special. ”

"Well, I don't know much anyway. Catherine smiled wryly and scratched her head, "But is this enough to fulfill Pannis's agreement?" ”

"That's fine, though it's a little different from what Pannis's original idea was. Lina pointed to the altar and said, "Making the idol is a long job, and it can't be completed for a while, so according to his original idea, it is to hold a large prayer without any facilities, and then let me teach Sira how to lead the transmission of the power of faith, but he thought too simply, if the large prayer is so easy, there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to build the idol everywhere." So, I perfected his plan and made an altar, so that in another way, the power of faith was passed on to Lord Nelly, which was a little easier to operate, and the loss of faith power was smaller than that of large prayers, the only drawback was that in essence, it was a sacrifice, so the altar was scrapped after one use, unlike the statue, which could be used for a long time. ”

"But I don't understand why I'm leading the ceremony?" asked Ciara, puzzled, "Wouldn't it be better for Lucia to preside over it? ”

"Well, if it's up to me......" Lucia, who was standing with the other leaders and the girls of the adventure group after shrinking, was speechless for a while, the leaders didn't know the real situation, so they didn't know that Lucia was actually not a believer in Nelly, and it was impossible for her to perform the bishopric duties, but at this time, it was difficult to explain temporarily, so that she didn't know how to answer this question, if Lucia still had *, I'm afraid she would have broken out in a cold sweat.

"Didn't I just say that, because it's essentially a sacrifice. Lina interrupted Lucia's attempt to explain, and replied with a natural expression, "This is the job of the priest, not the bishop." The bishop is responsible for preaching and praying, and the priest is responsible for presiding over the ceremonies, and although the two can replace the other's duties in some special cases, it is better to have a clear division of labor if it is not necessary. ”

"Hmm?" the girls blinked, looking at Lina with a serious face, it was obvious that she had already figured out how to explain to Lucia when she chose to use the altar, and only in this way could she so easily avoid the embarrassing situation that Lucia avoided. From this way of dealing with it, the maidens seem to see the shadow of someone, after all, before the arrival of Pannis, the priest girl had never had such a mind to take care of everything around her and avoid the embarrassment of all her friends.

Of course, Sila would not have guessed what the maidens were thinking, she just smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm not a priest either." ”

"It wasn't before, but now it is. Lina made a very domineering decision, then patted her thigh, and said loudly in dissatisfaction: "It's not because none of you guys know how to make a church run normally, you don't even have a priest, and there is only one bishop, my God, I can't believe that your faith can last for decades, it's incredible, it's really incredible." ”

"Well, I'm sorry. In the face of Lina's roar, a group of undead leaders apologized in voices full of embarrassment, their beliefs were absolutely true, so in the face of Lina's duties, these leaders really couldn't argue, only responded with an embarrassed wry smile.

"But it will be fine later. Lina sighed and said, "I'll tell you how to make a idol, of course, if it's ......"

The priest girl exchanged a look with Ciara beside her, and did not continue the second half of the sentence, but those who know the inside story will naturally know what she did not say, provided that after the matter is over, Nelly can still exist.

"Someone is coming. Sarn suddenly took a few steps forward and made a series of clicking sounds, and Cira frowned and translated, "Sarn said that the creature that broke into this world has arrived outside the city and is rushing here. ”

"So fast. The girls looked at each other: "How can it be so fast?"
